'Halma' refers to a Bhili tradition of coming together and helping a community member fighting his troubles. Whenever an individual from the community faces difficulty and calls for Halma, they all gather and solve it. Shivganga – a movement for the holistic development of Jhabua in association with Avantika University collaborated on a unique water conservation project based on the concept of Halma in the tribal region of Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh. A volunteer team of 50 students participated in this movement on 17th and 18th February, 2018 to work towards solving the social problem of water scarcity. They got together and dug up ponds and wells in the villages to enhance the conservation of water in area which is reeling under the effects of acute deforestation. The event was coordinated by our Head of Industry Relations, Mr. Rohit Lalwani. Lecturers Ravikumar Jadhav and Rushikesh Pawar along with Warden, Mrs. Meera Pandey accompanied the students. The first day was spent interacting with the leaders and villagers behind the movement and gaining insights, while the next day saw students volunteering to execute the project with the locals.
